nikal linux kernel 2.6.11.8 build fails

[myric]

I am trying to install nidaqmxbase-1.5.0-f2, but the install keeps failing. I tried installing with a stock FC3 kernel, but the build has failed. I have since tried again after building a stock linux 2.6.11.8 kernel, but I get the same error message. The "warning: `packed' attribute ignored" in particular is one I haven't seen before.

Hello myric

The readme for DAQmx Base says that it supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3. I am not sure that FC3 has the same characteristics as Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3.

Hmm... Are there any non-proprietary configurations that are known to work?

I found the answer to my question in another thread:

It appears that NI-KAL doesn't like the 2.6.10+ linux kernel due to a change in the API. Both the kernels I tried were 2.6.10 plus.

Perhaps in the next release if nidaqmxbase the latest kernel will be supported? Hint, hint, pretty-please from a paying customer. 😉
